Chapter 285: Seeking Help

Yuan Ming nodded secretly when he saw this. He had a deeper understanding of the best magic tools. After calming down, he continued to read.

The book also mentioned two methods to forcibly upgrade ordinary magic tools to the best magic tools.

One is the re-refining method, which uses special means to add top-level spiritual materials to the already refined magic tools, so that it can withstand the infusion of the fourth rune.

The other is the strong infusion method. In simple terms, the fourth rune is selected as a derivative of the existing runes on the magic tool. For example, if there is an "ice" rune on the magic tool, the fourth rune can be selected as the "white frost" rune derived from it, or the "cold" rune of a lower level.

The advantage of this is that it can bypass the limitation that ordinary spiritual materials can only engrave three runes. No matter what kind of magic tool, this method can be used to upgrade to a best magic tool. The disadvantage is that the success rate of this method is extremely low. If it succeeds once in ten times, it is considered very lucky.

In addition, if the strong infusion method fails, it will also damage the magic tool and make it unusable.

Even if the refining is successful, the top-grade magic weapon that uses the strong infusion method does not have the qualification to be promoted to a magic weapon. Compared with the top-grade magic weapon refined by normal means, the power is also weaker, but it is still far higher than the top-grade magic weapon.

Yuan Ming carefully read the contents of the book and wrote down the method of refining the top-grade magic weapon.

The methods of refining the top-grade magic weapon are naturally not limited to these two methods, but other methods with higher success rates are privately mastered by the weapon refiners and are absolutely impossible to get on the market.

In order to find the whereabouts of Sha Hao, Yuan Ming must now use the possession once every seven days on this person, and temporarily has no time to find and steal the weapon refining skills from the possessed weapon refiner.

Therefore, he can only try the two methods recorded in the book first. If it doesn't work, then think of other ways.

However, he doesn't have any top-grade spiritual materials at hand now, so there is no way to talk about the refining method, so he can only try his luck with the strong infusion method.

Of course, he didn't dare to use such a low success rate method directly on the black needle. After all, this was the only high-grade magic weapon he was using very well. If something went wrong, he would be in tears.

Yuan Ming thought about it and suddenly took out a yellow short spear and a green feather fan from his storage bag.

Although he took these two magic weapons of Gu Qiulong, it was not convenient to use them in public. It was the best time to practice with them.

He first picked up the yellow short spear and identified the three runes engraved on it, which were "Earth", "Hard" and "Sharp", but when he identified the runes on the green feather fan, he was in trouble.

Almost all the runes he mastered came from Master Heimu's notes, and the refining books he bought later only had some basic runes written on them.

Of the three runes on the green feather fan, he could only recognize one "Wind Blade", and the other two were not familiar to him.

However, if it was just for practice, only one was enough.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally decided to carve the fourth rune on the yellow short spear as "heavy", and the fourth rune on the feather fan as "wind roll".

They are derivatives of the "hard" rune and the "wind blade" rune, respectively, and have a considerable correlation.

Yuan Ming's residence did not have any equipment for refining, but fortunately there were several shops in Xiaohu City that rented out refining rooms. He recalled the location briefly, then quickly packed up everything, got up and left his residence.

A month and a half later, in a certain refining room, hot air was steaming.

In the tall casting furnace, the fiery red spiritual mist tightly wrapped the short spear, and the spiritual power continued to flow into the fourth rune on the handle of the short spear, slowly filling the lines.

Everything seemed to be going well, but when the fourth rune was half lit, the short spear suddenly shook, and the first three runes on it also lit up, bursting out with extremely dazzling light.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the spiritual mist in the furnace expanded instantly, and then quickly dissipated. Soon, there was no light in the furnace.

Yuan Ming opened the sealed door with a dark face and took out the fragments of the yellow short spear from it.

He looked at a top-grade magic weapon, which just disappeared like this, and couldn't help but sighed, feeling melancholy.

Since leaving Nanjiang, Yuan Ming has not been in contact with refining weapons. Although he still remembers a lot of basic knowledge, his skills are really rusty.

Therefore, after renting the refining room, he did not directly use the strong infusion method, after all, this also belongs to the category of refining weapons.

He first spent a month practicing forging, and after refining countless spiritual materials, he finally refined his first mid-grade magic weapon with difficulty.

Although the appearance of the magic weapon he refined was not good, it also greatly boosted his morale.

After many attempts, he was sure that he had mastered the tricks of refining mid-grade magic weapons, so he began to try to refine top-grade magic weapons.

However, even though it was just a difference in a rune, the difficulty of refining a top-grade magic weapon increased several times.

In order to make refining easier, Yuan Ming almost always chose simple runes with fewer strokes to infuse spirits, but every time he was halfway through refining, there would be an accident. After half a month, not a single rune could be successfully infused with spirits.

He couldn't even refine a top-grade magic weapon, let alone a top-grade magic weapon.

But before Yuan Ming gave up completely, he still had a glimmer of luck in his heart, thinking that he would try the forced infusion method at the end, thinking that it might be easier than refining from scratch.

And the result in front of him completely gave up the idea of ​​using the forced infusion method to refine a top-grade magic weapon.

He simply packed up and left the rented refining room.

…

Two hours later.

Yuan Ming returned to the secret room of No. 86 residence and placed all the books he bought on the way back on the table.

For him, there were two most difficult aspects of Sha Hao. One was the silver sphere of the best magic weapon in his hand, and the other was his soul cultivation illusion.

The road to refining the best magic weapon was blocked, and Yuan Ming had no better way to deal with the silver sphere for the time being, so he could only consider how to deal with Sha Hao's illusion.

As a disciple of Xi Cangqiong, Sha Hao's attainments in soul cultivation illusion were passed down by the great elder and he was even more outstanding than his master.

Yuan Ming could only cross the river by feeling the stones and figure out the use of illusion by himself.

Therefore, he went to the shop selling various books in the city and bought some books.

These books more or less recorded some preliminary knowledge of illusion and some battles related to illusion. Yuan Ming chose to learn illusion knowledge from the few words in these books, which was also a helpless move. After all, Xiying, who was regarded as his soul cultivation master, was now in southern Xinjiang, far away from Xiaohu City by more than ten thousand miles, and he could not contact her even with the sound transmission talisman she left behind.

When he fought with Sha Hao before, due to the emergency situation, his emotions suddenly burst out, but he forgot this point, so he used one.

It’s just that the book he bought was very superficial, and the author’s analysis of illusion was not profound, and even had biased views, but as an ordinary cultivator to understand illusion and fill in basic knowledge, it can barely make do.

One of the books mentioned that the essence of illusion is actually to use spiritual consciousness to influence the other party’s perception.

Whether it is through magic or runes, the illusion cast will inevitably consume the cultivator’s own spiritual power.

Therefore, the stronger the spiritual power, the more realistic the illusion cast, and the more difficult it is to crack.

Similarly, to restrain illusions, one must either possess a spiritual power far beyond that of the caster, or break through it through rare talismans and magical instruments.

After reading it, Yuan Ming remembered that the range of his illusions was equivalent to the range of his spiritual consciousness, and he nodded immediately, believing a lot in the content of the book.

However, then, he remembered something else.

Illusions are, after all, just a means that every soul cultivator can master, and the different strange abilities of the soul after the transformation are the unique trump cards of a soul cultivator.

Yuan Ming's transformed soul crow has the ability of traveling far, which is more inclined to auxiliary. What kind of ability should Sha Hao's blood bat have?

Yuan Ming carefully recalled the details of the fight with Sha Hao. No matter how Yuan Ming escaped, Sha Hao could always find him.

However, this ability and Sha Hao's soul transformed into a blood bat, Yuan Ming still felt that it was more like Sha Hao mastered some secret technique or magic weapon.

Yuan Ming thought hard but to no avail, so he changed his mind and began to calculate what he had on him that could restrain the use of spiritual consciousness.

Soon, he thought of Wuxiang.

The fog created by Wuxiang was so dense that even the Great Elder could not see through it directly. For Sha Hao, it must have a restraining effect.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment, then got up and left his residence, left Xiaohu City, drove the magic weapon to Yuxu Swamp, found a secluded place, landed on his own initiative, sacrificed the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, took a Wuxiang and lit it, and released King Kong at the same time.

Soon, the thick white fog engulfed the figures of Yuan Ming and King Kong, covering the entire area.

"I want to test whether Wuxiang can restrain illusions. No matter what you see later, you will stand still and don't move." Yuan Ming reminded, and then walked five steps away from King Kong.

He saw King Kong nodded to him, as if he was ready, so he concentrated his mind and wanted to cast an illusion.

However, under the cover of the white fog, his consciousness could hardly leave his body, and he could not touch King Kong at all, let alone make him fall into an illusion.

Yuan Ming tried several more times, gradually closing the distance between himself and King Kong, but he failed to perform the illusion until he walked in front of King Kong and pressed his shoulder with his hand.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming felt a little excited.

Wuxiang does have a restraining effect on illusions. With this trump card, it will be much easier to deal with Sha Hao in the future.

After the experiment had a result, Yuan Ming did not stay any longer. He killed Wuxiang, put away King Kong and the Heaven-stealing Cauldron, and then drove the Jade Shuttle to return to Xiaohu City.

But suddenly, his expression changed and he stopped.

"What's going on?"

Just now, he actually received a distress message from Huazhi through the spirit beast.

Yuan Ming did not think much about it, and quickly turned around and flew towards the place where Huazhi was.
